THE BEST SPANISH FOOD IN THE HOOD
The only issue is you gotta double park to get some food if you're driving, and they take time with your food, so you gotta wait. More

I have no complaints the food is good, and their Pina Colada is the best. You taste the small pieces of pineapple so refreshing. Rice, beans, chicken, beef dinners and Sungucho soup all is good. Ohh don't forget to try the variety of empanadas. More

The food here is amazing and reasonably priced. They have a $6 special available all day. It includes quarter of chicken rice and beans a salad and a soda. They have an amazing grilled chicken wrap for $5. The only flaw is depending on the time of day the service can be really slow, but once its your turn they are only focused on you.

I always call for delivery and most of the time they forget that I’m on the phone. Thats terrible customer service and they should work on that. Also the music is always loud so I am screening at the person who’s taking the order cause they can’t hear me. They need to work on that as well. More

Definitely the best Spanish food in Harlem in my opinion but they are still kind of hit or miss ... some days the food is delicious, some days it's ok and others is like whatever... The spinach is the best, I don't know what they put in it but it's delicious...the rotisserie chicken is also good when it's fresh. The service is usually pretty good as well but sometimes the lines are long... be advised the parking sucks and if you doubled parked you face a ticket or damage to your vehicle

This is by far, and I mean BY FAR the cleaniest Dominican restaurant i been in. Pastelitos on point, that's hard to find. Most importantly Fresh, Good vibes plus excellent service, We all know that's hard to find now in days. Im really happy with this spot. After pandemic restaurant and service not same anymore, and more expensive. Definitely go back.

Great food, fair prices, especially the lunch specials! I believe they charge a credit card fee, so bring cash to save yourself a few cents. Few tables but at 1 PM on a tuesday we were able to get one to eat inside the restaurant for lunch. Friendly staff too! This is really close to my work so I'll be back!

Always a line. Deep in the Harlem ghetto, this place is a gem! I got salmon and pork ribs. Both excellent. I've had their roasted full chickens, spanish rice and beans, plantains, and love it!
This is the type of place you bring home a massive bag of food to your family in New jersey on a Friday after work!
Bonus - the dessert fridge has some delicious treats!!!

I can't believe my 1st time ordering with them through catering was so disappointing. They were on time. However, they forgot part of the main course. Upon telling them, they rushed my 3 chickens over without any compensation on the $20 delivery or even a free 2 liter. More
